Care of the Ceramic Hob
23
Do not stare at halogen heating units.
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this
will result in damage to the surface of the hob.
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the
smooth surface of the hob.
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause
scratches in the surface of the hob.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob
surround.
Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and
the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats,
aluminium or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is
not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are
being used.
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched On.
We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two
heating areas.
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always
ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated
areas and have the same diameter as the heating area
used.
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean and dry. Dirt or
moisture between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter greater than
25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking
areas.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high sugar content eg.
jam, as spillage will cause damage to the surface of the glass.
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).
